<p>Hello all, </p>
<p>I've not managed to make a meeting in some time, mainly due to uni work, but since the recent discussions of IPv6 I had an idea. </p>
<p>If people need to adopt IPv6 to make it useful, why don't we jump in and make an effort ourselves ? Linux has supported the stack for years, so why not make it an example? </p>
<p>For people without native IPV6, which will be most everyone, you can use a tunnel broker like <a href="http://tunnelbroker.net" target="_blank">tunnelbroker.net</a> to get yourself connectivity. This could be a workshop topic in itself (i.e. Getting IPv6 on your Linux distro using a 4to6 tunnel). The other nice thing is HE have a "certification", so you can show people that you've got some knowlege of how to use IPv6. <br>
</p><p>Also, once we have done this we could start hosting some useful services (say, IRC, website, FTP, game servers?) and make use of the protocol.</p><p>Those who are so inclined could even try writing some applications which make full use of IPv6. <br>
</p><p>Since the point of a network is to connect computers (and people) together, a group such as ours might not be a bad place to start :-)</p><p><br></p><p>Cheers,</p><p><br></p><p>Fish<br></p><p></p>
